Living the 3rd way

The world usually presents us with 2 ways to live.

Many people live by law. They may not charcterize it as such, but there it is. THese are people who try to live a good live. Those who live by the Golden Rule. They work hard and try to provide for their families by sheet sweat. But it is a type of law or some sort of commandment or way of living life (see Tony Robbins or Dr. Phil) for examples) that they follow.

Others live according to the flesh. Whatever feels good, do it. Go and party, live life to it's fullest, go and try to experience everything.

Christianity gives a 3rd way. Live by the Spirit. Let your life be marked by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. By living according to this we live not by law or flesh by by the Spirit
